Different from the tension between the Yan State and the Jin State, the Chu State at this time was a peaceful scene. There is Xuanke guarding the border, coupled with the battle of prefectures and counties in northern Xinjiang three years ago, as well as the constant changes and adjustments of the reformists led by Qu Tianhong in the imperial court.

Although the current state of Chu is still poor, it is also living a peaceful life, without the constraints of the royal family, and under Qu Tianhong's drastic reforms, many policies have been implemented. According to Ye Yunyi's idea, what the people need most is land, Qu Tianhong listened to Ye Yunyi's suggestion, and boldly distributed the land to the people according to the population, except for the key granaries controlled by the state.

A large area of fertile land, with the support of the power of one country, continued to provide food for the Chu State, and on the other hand, most of the remaining relatively barren land was distributed to the people, so that the people had land to cultivate, which not only preserved the granary of the country, but also gave the people a basis for survival.

The people who got the land were grateful to the entire court and gave the ownership of the land directly to the people, which was unprecedented and inevitable. Ye Yunyi made this change request based on the experience of later generations, but Qu Tianhong did not understand it at first, because the consequence of doing so was tantamount to digging up the graves of the royal family and nobles of the entire Chu State.

However, behind the success of a series of Ye Yunyi's practices, Qu Tianhong was in sympathy for the people of the world and Ye Yunyi's trust, so he boldly took this step.

The people's enthusiasm for production has also been released, and the terrible low taxes on these lands are completely equivalent to giving these lands to them for nothing.

In order to avoid the rise of the so-called local gentry again, Ye Yunyi also thought about Qu Tianhong in the final reform proposal, these lands are strictly bought and sold, so that the land becomes privately owned and avoids the annexation of land.

The majority of the country's taxes come from the land, and now the land is directly distributed to the people, so where does the state's taxes come from? In fact, for the Chu State, there is no need to worry at all, the Chu State is close to the Jin State and the Yan State, and Qingyun City has opened a trade market for business and trade.

Compared with the Jin State and the Yan State, the Chu State has been rich in products since ancient times, and the Jin State and the Yan State have always been incompatible in terms of commerce and trade, let alone any trade. Even if the Yan State urgently needs the products of the Jin Kingdom, it will not be bought at the border of the Jin Kingdom, instead

Instead, he took a detour to the state of Chu to buy and sell.

The same is true of the Jin State, in the eyes of the merchants of the Yan State, the merchants of the Jin State have always been cunning, and in the eyes of the Jin people, the merchants of the Yan State are not much better, but they all agree with the simplicity and honesty of the people of the Chu State.

Therefore, according to the current situation of the Chu State, in the national policy formulated by Ye Yunyi, it is to make a big fuss about commerce and trade, since the taxes on the land have been reduced, then it is completely possible to find it back from commerce and trade, and even find more, such a decision is completely out of the decision of the current special period of the Chu State.

Although it is not a long-term solution, once the war starts, then the trade on the border will be terminated, and the taxes of the Chu State will be hit hard. At the beginning, Ye Yunyi imagined that the Jin State and the Yan State would not attack again in a short time, so they would have enough time to make the Chu State gradually stronger.

In terms of land policy, although the tax is low, the current land of Chu is not only now, Ye Yunyi has personally investigated, most of the land in Chu has not been developed, and it is still at a low stage.

However, the land policy did not restrict the people from clearing the land, and the existing land was given to the people just to allow the people to recover quickly after the war, and the new land reclaimed after that was carried out was carried out according to the newly adjusted tax policy.

After the people have received food and clothing, let them take out the excess taxes, not only will not be resisted by the people, but will make the people willingly. But these are all things for later, and the current Ye Yunyi and Qu Tianhong have not yet been counted.

Such a big decision was completely groundbreaking at that time, and almost all the courtiers didn't understand it, but this was the Chu State, as long as the ministers in the court were involved with the royal family at that time, and those who interceded with the royal family, or participated in the later rebellion, they were all cleaned up under Ye Yunyi's manipulation.

Now, almost all the ministers in the court are headed by Qu Tianhong, and the imperial power is also because of the existence of an emperor like Qin Luoyao, so that the imperial power not only does not become an obstacle, but has become a nominal support to promote change.

Locally, the battle of states and counties presided over by Ye Beijiang has looted the local tyrants, and now as long as it is an order of the imperial court, there is no place that is not passable.

This is also the result of Ye Yunyi's early calculations, first the imperial power

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

At the local level, the obstacles were cleaned up in a thorough manner, so that the change could be carried out smoothly.

Now that the effect of the change has begun to bear fruit, the war-torn state of Chu should have been in a depression, but under the promotion of orderly reform, after the war, the state of Chu still has strong vitality.

In addition to the royal family, the court factions were beheaded, and the power of the prefectures and counties was collected, which completely turned the Chu State into a monolith.

At the same time, in order to support the people's livelihood, the conscription was adjusted, and in order to encourage the growth of the population, as long as the only son in the family and the strong man without two daughters were not drafted into the army. For families with more children, the government will also encourage and help.

A set of strict policies soon made the state of Chu, a lifeless country, quickly radiate new vitality and vitality. At the same time, because of the implementation of various policies and the huge gap in the use of prefectures and counties, Qu Tianhong reopened the imperial examination system for selecting talents.

At present, because there is no so-called suppression of imperial power, in the selection of talents, it pays more attention to practical talents, and then there is the rotten imperial court has long been cleansed, and most of the current officials are newly selected, they are full of vitality and passion, corruption and fraud, these things may happen extremely small.

As a result, the selection of talents has been carried out relatively fairly, and without the collusion of the so-called elites, a large number of talents in the Chu State have been reactivated. Qu Tianhong was a strong executor, and many policies favorable to the state of Chu were vigorously promoted.

It can be said that the reason why the reform of the Chu State was able to achieve results this time was inseparable from Ye Yunyi's continuous removal of obstacles behind his back. Such a change, even if it is placed in a place like Yan Kingdom, where the national strength is prosperous, even if it has Wei Tiange's strong support, it will not work.

Even the Jin state, which was very similar to the Chu state, had undergone a great purge within the imperial court, and it would have been strongly resisted by the common people and other officials.

It can be said that Ye Yunyi has almost counted all kinds of possibilities in order to make this change. For this reason, the dark pavilion and the power he can mobilize have been exhausted, and after the current dark pavilion has become the Chu pavilion, except for the secret agent in charge of intelligence, the rest are all seriously damaged.
